The point at which horizontal and vertical surfaces intersect in building construction has to be handled with particular care, with the need for appropriate sealing measures at the transition from floor to wall. With its wall connection profiles, the company Richard Brink provides high-quality covers that beautifully bridge this gap. Until now, the profiles were offered exclusively as a one-part, screw-in product in either aluminium or stainless steel, which were used primarily in outdoor areas such as terraces. The metal products manufacturer from Eastern Westphalia recently released an alternative model which, similar to the edge profiles developed in-house for parapet coverings, uses a snap-fit system that attaches to a corresponding wall mount.
Easy installation, seamless finish
The new two-part design makes for a sleek finish thanks to its hidden rather than visible fixture. The guide profile is first screwed directly onto the wall. The outer part of the wall connection profile is then placed on top of the guide profile. To finish, the Basis Clip profile, made of 1.5mm-thick aluminium with a standard height of 150mm, is snapped onto the mount to fix it in place and the upper joint is sealed with silicone. The mount remains hidden thanks to the snap-fit system, creating a beautiful transition from floor to wall. Customers can choose to add a powder coating in any RAL colour to the wall connection profile, giving them greater design freedom. Richard Brink also offers a range of accessories developed in-house such as connectors, corners, reveal plates and end pieces. These are compatible with the profile elements, which are produced in lengths of 3,000mm as standard. Customers can therefore put together a complete, precisely-fitting package ready for installation no matter what their project. They also have the option to request custom-fit profiles, making for even greater precision.
